Some vehicles need wrecking. Not all of them, not even most of them, but some vehicles require immediate dismantling and recycling otherwise they are just an annoying waste of space. If your vehicle doesn’t run, and requires more money to fix then the amount that would buy another one, then you probably have one of these cars. Otherwise known as “clunkers”, that need wrecking.

The best thing to do in this situation is to sell it to a local Cash for Car Company like Car Wreckers in Auckland. They will wreck that automobile of yours. If your clunker isn’t a car. Don’t worry as these companies also buy junk Utes, SUV’s, vans, 4×4’s and trucks.

If you have decided to take this road, then you might like to know roughly how much money they pay for junk machines. Well, the answer depends on a few things.

Reliability of the Company

You will want to do business with a company that has shown itself to be as reliable as is humanly possible in the past. In Auckland there are actually a number of cash for cars companies. So finding the right one would require doing a wee bit of research. Have a look online at the customer feedback that has been shown at the company in question or check out how to get the fast cash for car in Auckland.

It may also serve your wallet well if you actually contact a number of companies for the purpose of comparison shopping. Ask each one for a cash quote. They should offer them for free and with no obligations attached. If they don’t, you might like to say thank-you and goodbye. The best quote should belong to the company that you choose to sell to.

How Old Your Clunker is

If you sell your junk car the day that you decide that it is, in fact, a junk vehicle. You will get more money than if you leave it for a few years. Why? Because the metal components will develop rust, which will degrade them. The whole car will end up being worthless.

Another reason you will be well advised to get the car disposed of as soon as possible is the fact that it will have toxic materials such as fluids and so on. That can and will get into the environment, harming it. You will be doing the environment a solid by getting it dismantled and recycled.

How Many Parts Can Be Salvaged

Another factor in how much money your vehicle will get monetarily is how many parts the company you are selling to can salvage from your junk vehicle. This is because they will be selling those parts second hand. They will find out when they send someone over to your place to properly assess the vehicle after the initial phone conversation. You can make smart money by selling your unwanted vehicle for parts.

Failing that, if all the parts are useless (which is unlikely) they can at least sell the scrap metal to a scrap metal yard. So even the most totalled vehicle will get some cash payment for it.
